A one bedroom apartment can be an urban oasis in the hands of the right designers. The spaces featured in this post both measure in under 75 square meters (807 square feet) which is hardly among the smallest we have features, but still puts some limits on what a designer can accomplish. Still, both homes manage to sparkle and shine with welcoming features and warm feelings, perfect for their inhabitants to spend a few years or a lifetime.
The first apartment comes from architect Dmitriy Kurganov and was designed for a young man with an affinity for dark colors and open spaces. It is not difficult to discern exactly how the designer managed to incorporate these preferences. The living space has an easy open design, with the dining, kitchen, and lounging area all flowing together nicely. Muted earth tones throughout create a sense of calm while a kitschy lady lamp give just a hint of whimsy.
The bedroom is not overly spacious, but has enough room for a cozy bed and plenty of storage hidden behind slick wood paneling.
A spacious bath uses creative textured walls to give it the feel of a modern saunda with all the necessary accoutrements.
The second apartment comes to us from visualizer Elena Vlasenko and is considerably smaller than the first space. This one bedroom, decidedly feminine design is just 49.5 square meters (532 square feet). The apartment was designed for a young family and takes some inspiration from "American classic" themes as well as Restoration Hardware.
For such a small space, the design does manage to incorporate plenty of furniture and accessories, from a cozy chesterfield to that seeming ubiquitous indoor spotlight.
A breakfast bar that could, if you squint, also be a dining table is a nice multipurpose space while the bedroom, hidden behind some custom bookshelves has its own sense of cozy.
